Summary:
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the John Hinde Studio, based in Dublin, produced a series of postcards to be sold at Butlin's holiday camps throughout the British Isles. Famous for their “hi-de-hi” catchphrase, redcoat hosts and bargain packages with all entertainment included, Butlin's annually hosted over a million holidaying Britons throughout the 1970s. It was the challenging job of two German (Elmar Ludwig and Edmund Nägele) and one British photographer (David Noble) to execute the photographs to Hinde's rigorous formula and standards. With innovative use of color and elaborate staging (the trademarks of a John Hinde postcard), each photograph is painstakingly produced, with often large casts of real holidaymakers acting their allocated roles in these narrative tableaux of the Butlin's quiet lounges, ballrooms and Beachcomber bars. Shot with large-format cameras and lit like a film set, these photographs were an extraordinary undertaking in their production values, and helped John Hinde become one of the most successful postcard publishers in the world. Most of the John Hinde Butlin's photographs have only ever been published as postcards.

Summary:
Les photographies possèdent l'étrange pouvoir d'orienter notre vision du monde et d'influencer notre manière de percevoir la réalité. Pour témoigner de l'influence à la fois profonde et unique qu'exerce la photographie sur la culture et la société, Photo Icons passe les grandes étapes de l'histoire de la photographie au microscope. Chaque chapitre de cette édition spéciale se concentre sur une seule image, décrite et analysée en détail, en la replaçant dans son contexte esthétique, historique et artistique. Le livre s'ouvre sur les toutes premières images durablement fixées (l'héliographie de Nicéphore Niépce, vue prise de la fenêtre de son cabinet de travail, obtenue en 1827 suite à une exposition de 8 heures, ainsi que la célèbre scène de rue de Louis Daguerre, prise en 1839) pour conduire le lecteur jusqu'à l'avant-garde de la photographie des années 1920, comme la Mère migrante de Dorothea Lange (1936) et le Baiser de l'Hôtel de ville de Robert Doisneau (1950), jusqu'à la " nouvelle photographie européenne " de Martin Parr.

Summary:
Se plaçant résolument sur le terrain de l'écart et du corps, c'est-à-dire d'une expérience quasi physique et littérale de la photographie, Denis Bernard reconsidère l'ensemble de ce qui la fonde et l'oriente, et notamment ses invariants techniques. Que nous dit Denis Bernard ? Qu'il y a un "angle mort de la photographie". Standards, normalisations, dispositifs et dispositions, en s'imposant, ont figé peu à peu les choses. L'aventure, dès lors, consiste à regarder, ressentir ou penser différemment le "fait technique". D'où la nécessité de remettre en cause "toute décision qui a conduit à ne pas voir" et d'opérer un glissement singulier du centre vers le bord ou l'épaisseur de l'image. On visera ainsi à préparer des "pièges à lumière perdue", à scruter "l'à côté de la plaque", à traquer des "seuils de transparence", à saisir "l'empreinte d'un coup de foudre" ou inventer des "machines à voir". Nouvelle donne: il s'agit de photographier autrement. De "voir encore, dedans et au-delà". De privilégier les "brouillons acharnés" d'une "nouvelle étreinte".

Summary:
Photomontage was pioneered as a technique in central Europe in the 1910s, where it flourished as an art form through the end of World War II. While German artists such as John Heartfield, Max Ernst and Hannah Hoch used the medium to respond to the atrocities of war, other areas of Europe were simultaneously experiencing a newfound political autonomy as the Austro-Hungarian Empire collapsed. For these artists, namely Polish and Czech, photomontage manifested itself in a Surrealist approach to cut-and-paste imagery that emphasized its potential for visual poetry. "Photo/Montage in Print" traces the explosion of photomontage art in book cover design and illustrated magazines in the interwar period. Documenting the remarkable contributions of Czech artists in the creation of the visual language of modern print media, the publication includes some of the leading artists of the Czech avant garde such as Karel Teige, Jindrich Styrsky, Toyen, Ladislav Sutnar and Frantisek Muzika.

People in trouble laughing pushed to the ground. Soldiers leaning, pointing, reaching. Woman sweeping. Balloons escaping. Coffin descending. Boys standing. Grieving. Chair balancing. Children smoking. Embracing. Creatures barking. Cars burning. Helicopters hovering. Faces. Human figures. Shapes. Birds. Structures left standing and falling... The Belfast Exposed Archive occupies a small room on the first floor at 23 Donegal Street and contains over 14,000 black-and-white contact sheets, documenting the Troubles in Northern Ireland. These are photographs taken by professional photo-journalists and 'civilian' photographers, chronicling protests, funerals and acts of terrorism as well as the more ordinary stuff of life: drinking tea; kissing girls; watching trains. Belfast Exposed was founded in 1983 as a response to concern over the careful control of images depicting British military activity during the Troubles. The marks on the surface of the contact strips – across the image itself – allude to the presence of many visitors. These include successive archivists, who have ordered, catalogued and re-catalogued this jumble of images. For many years the archive was also made available to members of the public, and sometimes they would deface their own image with a marker pen, ink or scissors. So, in addition to the marks made by generations of archivists, photo editors, legal aides and activists, the traces of these very personal obliterations are also visible. They are the gestures of those who wished to remain anonymous.

Summary:
The extensive range of posters, collages, maquettes, postcards, magazines, and books featured in this exhibition catalogue attests to the enormous influence of photomontage in politics, social protest, and advertising, while also demonstrating the popularity of the technique among avant-garde artists during these two decades. Essays in this publication examine contemporary texts that the practice of photomontage inspired, and explore those qualities of photomontage that led to what was arguably the most important exhibition devoted to this artistic technique at the Kunstgewerbemuseum in Berlin in 1931. The present volume includes a facsimile reproduction and translation of the catalogue published on the occasion of that exhibition. In addition to a brief chronology, the interested reader will also find a selection of text - some scarcely familiar today - by authors of various nationalities that sheds further light on the practice. Produced to accompany the exhibition in Spain and available in North America for the first time, this entirely English-language publication offers an overview of the birth of the photomontage process specifically in Germany and the Soviet Union in the 1920s.
